FORMATION ADVISOR: _________________________________________________________________
“The continuing evaluation of seminarians is linked to their formation as well as to the Church’s
responsibility to discern vocations to the priesthood as a gift from God. Since formation, whether human,
spiritual, intellectual, or pastoral, assumes that a seminarian will be growing both in God’s grace and in
his free, human response to that grace, it is important that there be a process to note the markers of that
growth. In this way, the Church provides candidates for priestly ministry with encouragement to continue
their formation and wisdom to identify ways in which that formation may take deeper root. The Church’s
responsibility to discern the authenticity of vocations also implies that there is some process whereby the
Church, usually working through the seminary, scrutinizes the candidate’s aptness and readiness to
assume the responsibilities of ordained ministry. This ongoing evaluation of seminarians, then, fosters
growth in formation while continuing the process of discernment.”
- Program for Priestly Formation #272
Educational progress, emotional maturity, and spiritual growth happen gradually.
Evaluative feedback is an important factor in helping a seminarian recognize and affirm his
abilities and giftedness, and to identify areas where further development is needed. This
evaluative instrument is designed to allow the Supervisor to offer clear and accurate
information that will enable you to grow toward maturity, as well as to engage you in the
challenge of ongoing self-assessment. Please feel free to use additional space as needed.
